Nurturing Mental Balance: Ayurvedic Approach to ADHD Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) presents a complex interplay of behavioral challenges that Ayurveda addresses through a comprehensive understanding of mind-body balance. While not explicitly categorized in traditional Ayurvedic texts, ADHD symptoms closely align with imbalances in vital aspects such as Dhee (rational thinking), Smriti (memory), and Dhriti (intellect force), suggesting a potential correlation. In Ayurvedic philosophy, ADHD predominantly manifests as a Vata dosha disorder, disrupting the harmony of Manovaha strotas, the channels responsible for mental function. This disruption leads to irregular hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention – hallmarks of ADHD. Ayurvedic Treatment Strategies for ADHD: 1. Deepana and Pachana: Central to restoring balance is the correction of the digestive fire, essential for digesting ama (toxins). By optimizing digestion, the body can absorb nutrients efficiently, fostering overall well-being. 2. Strotoshodhan (Channel Cleansing):The primary focus lies in cleansing the channels, particularly Manovaha strotas, to remove obstructions hindering mental clarity and function. Ayurvedic herbs with penetrating and digestive properties are employed to clear these channels, aiding in the normalization of brain function. 3. Medhya Herbs: Non-tropical herbs renowned for their ability to enhance mental function and balance play a crucial role in ADHD management. These herbs not only support cognitive function but also aid in calming the mind, promoting focus, and reducing impulsivity. Combining Ayurvedic treatments with conventional therapies such as psychotherapy and behavioral interventions offers a synergistic approach to managing ADHD. By addressing the root cause of the imbalance and nurturing mental equilibrium, Ayurveda provides a holistic framework for individuals seeking relief from ADHD symptoms. In conclusion, Ayurveda offers a nuanced understanding of ADHD and provides effective treatment strategies aimed at restoring harmony within the mind and body. By embracing the holistic principles of Ayurveda, individuals can embark on a journey towards improved mental well-being and enhanced quality of life. #ADHD

In the rapidly growing landscape of high-ticket coaching and healing in India, one of the most pivotal challenges is establishing an effective pricing strategy. Striking the right balance between accessibility and value can make or break your practice. This article explores the intricacies of pricing strategy for high-ticket coaches and healers and provides actionable insights to navigate this critical aspect of your business. The Economic Diversity of India India's economic landscape is incredibly diverse, with a wide range of income levels and financial mindsets. While this diversity presents a wealth of opportunities, it also means that setting a high-ticket price that appeals to a broad audience can be challenging. Understanding Economic Factors: Income Disparity: With a significant disparity in income levels, understanding the financial capabilities of your target market is crucial. High-ticket services may be out of reach for a large portion of the population, necessitating a keen focus on those who can afford and value such services. Perceived Value: In a market where traditional methods and cost-effective alternatives are often preferred, conveying the value of high-ticket coaching becomes essential. Clients need to understand the tangible benefits and long-term impact of your services to justify the investment. Crafting an Effective Pricing Strategy To succeed as a high-ticket coach or healer in India, you must craft a pricing strategy that reflects the value of your services while resonating with your target market. Here are some strategies to help you achieve this balance: 1. Research and Market Analysis: Conduct Market Research: Invest time in understanding your target market’s financial capabilities, preferences, and pain points. Analyze competitors to understand prevailing price points and identify gaps in the market. Client Persona Development: Create detailed client personas that encompass their financial backgrounds, spending habits, and expectations from coaching services. 2. Value Proposition: Highlight Unique Value: Clearly articulate what sets your services apart. Emphasize the unique methodologies, personalized approaches, and specific outcomes that justify the higher price. ROI Communication: Use case studies, testimonials, and measurable results to demonstrate the return on investment (ROI) clients can expect from your services. 3. Tiered Pricing Models: Offer Tiered Packages: Create multiple service packages at different price points. This allows clients to choose a package that best fits their budget while still accessing your expertise. Introductory Offers: Consider offering lower-priced introductory sessions or workshops. These can serve as a gateway for potential clients to experience the value of your services before committing to higher-priced packages. #HighTicketCoaching #LifeCoaching #Healing #PricingStrategy #ProfessionalDevelopment #CoachingInIndia #PersonalGrowth #ValueProposition

A lancet study shows over 50% of Indians are physically unfit, calling for people to indulge in physical exercise. There is no doubt, It should be part of a daily ritual to exercise at least 45 minutes to an hour. Besides, it is also recommended that every 2 hours, you should get up & walk for 10 minutes. These interventions go a long way in improving our metabolic health.But does working out for an hour translate into exercise benefits for everyone ? Not necessarily ! To understand this you need to understand the physiology /chemistry behind extracts benefits of exercise. Moderate exercise regimes stipulate the production of essential short chain fatty acid- Butyrate which plays a key role in reducing inflammation, regulating satiety & blood sugar levels & more. However, to currently evaluate the exercise performance, it is important to understand the biochemistry behind nitric oxide(NO). We all know -NO is a vasodilator & regulates blood flow -It regulates oxygen & nutrient uptake & delivery -It regulates mitochondrial functions & mitochondria biogenesis & more During exercise, NO stimulates oxygen & nutrient  uptake & delivery to working muscle tissue, thereby positively impacting exercise performance: Mitochondria needs flow of electrons to produce energy( ATP) in the presence of oxygen. This flow of electrons via electron transport chain & prevention of electron leakage is regulated by nitric oxide. When eNOS is coupled &/or the oral microbiome is balanced, there is sufficient nitric oxide that makes mitochondria more efficient- making more energy per unit of oxygen. Besides,  Nitric Oxide activates PGC-1 alpha that allows it to have more mitochondria per cell- mitochondria biogenesis. Both these factors positively impact exercise performance. Exercise also improves cardiovascular health & stimulates NO production but the rate limiting factor is NO. If your eNOS is uncoupled, due to oxidative stress, inflammation or oxidation of tetrahydrobiopterin(BH4)( consider gut dysbiosis, oral dysbiosis, advanced glycation end products, consumption of seed oils), it could shut down nitric oxide production & you will lose cardioprotective benefits of exercise. https://lnkd.in/gki3ba2r This is basics of exercise physiology. While the first step is start moving every day, devote atleast one hour daily to your body first thing in the morning, it is important to also regulate biochemistry behind deriving maximum benefits of exercise Citations  https://lnkd.in/gy67f_5J https://lnkd.in/gYGbiEZF https://lnkd.in/gzAe9RV6 https://lnkd.in/gumrpJvu #obesity #exercise #exerciseperformance #nitricoxide #weightloss

"I am consulting a psychiatrist and have had two psychologists in the last 10 years, yet all they tell me is to relax. How can I relax when I always have tension headaches?" From New York to India, my clients have been recounting similar experiences. "I have more clarity in 2 sessions with you than I had in 10 years of therapy. I am loving this work." "I have been trying to figure this out through introspection, but at 16 years I didn't have it in me to figure it out. At 26, at least I understand myself better, but even though I know better, I cannot change myself." Our behavioral patterns come from our subconscious brain and it does not work on logic. Ashita (name changed), came to me for weight loss. But her anti-depressants were the cause of her massive weight gain in the last year. On probing a little more, we started figuring out why she tends to overthink so much that she gets debilitating anxiety attacks and headaches. Our deepest childhood fears can become the biggest shields in our adult lives. Shields that seemingly protect us from the 'big, bad world'. But they prevent us from living life itself. Unless we get to the root cause of their origin, they continue to run our lives. That said, life will be wildly rewarding in moments and deeply disappointing in others. If we choose to tip-toe around it, we will choose disappointment by default. Learning the tools to navigate the ups and downs is what sets us free. Which fear are you allowing to run your life? #mentalhealth #emotionalwellbeing #emotionwellness #coaching #freedom

🌻 Workplace Well Being 🌱 Workplace well-being is both an organizational and individual responsibility.  💖 There are many ways organizations can support #employeewellbeing. Offering live guided #meditation sessions during the work day is just one effective way.  Here are a few comments from participants that have attended 30 minute guided meditation sessions: ✨“It calmed me down from a long, stressful commute. I think these sessions help me focus. It's hard for me to find the time to try to meditate on my own, so having a scheduled event on my work calendar really helps.” ✨“I really needed this time to calm down and gather my thoughts, it was very good to take a minute and just breathe.” ✨“I was feeling a bit stressed before the session, but afterward now I'm feeling focused and calm. Thank you!!” ✨“Thank you for having these classes! I am seeing the benefits of meditation (awareness) and having conversations with co-workers about them." 💌 If you would like to schedule a call to explore how Wholeness Reawakened could support your organization’s needs, please send me a note!

3 Daily Habits of Mindful Leaders for Peak Performance As we navigate the complexities of leadership, the art of mindfulness has never been more critical. Based on extensive research and my personal experience working with 1000’s of corporates, here are three daily habits that top-performing leaders practice to stay ahead. Start With a Mindful Morning: Every high-performance engine needs a great start. Mindful leaders often begin their day with a meditation or mindfulness exercise. This isn't just about zoning out—it's about setting a focused tone for the day. Just a few minutes of meditation and intention setting can significantly increase concentration and decrease stress levels. Intentional Pauses: Throughout the day, successful leaders take short, strategic breaks—let's call them "mindful moments." These aren't just pauses; they're opportunities to reassess and realign with their goals. Whether it’s stepping away from the desk, a brief walk, or a moment of deep breathing, these pauses help in maintaining a high level of performance without burning out. Reflective End-of-Day Review: Reflection is a powerful tool. Mindful leaders often end their day by reviewing what went well and what could be improved. This practice isn’t about dwelling on the negatives but fostering a spirit of continuous improvement and gratitude. It’s about learning from the day and setting up for a better tomorrow. Embrace these habits, and watch how they transform not just your leadership but your entire team’s energy and productivity. For more information on cultivating mindful leadership habits and enhancing your team's performance, reach out today! 🌟 hello@heidihorne.com.au Book a call with me: https://buff.ly/4boR148 #MindfulLeadershipHabits #PeakPerformanceTips #LeadershipMindfulness #DailyHabitsofLeaders #MindfulMorningRoutine #StrategicBreaks #ReflectiveLeadership #ContinuousImprovement #TeamProductivityBoost #LeadershipTransformation
